As Daily News politics writer/blogger Rick Orlov reported Thursday, the Los Angeles County Democratic Party has endorsed Steve Zimmer in the two-teacher race for LAUSD's District 4 board seat.
The Dems also backed San Fernando Mayor Nury Martinez in another board contest; unchallenged incumbent Board President Monica Garcia got the nod too.
The Zimmer endorsement is interesting because his challenger, Mike Stryer, has been active in Westside Democratic circles. The Palisades Democratic Club, where he's a VP, gave him $1,000.
But Zimmer has long been involved in L.A. politics, having worked on a number of local campaigns, including L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's run for Assembly in 1994.
Villaraigosa is expected to name endorsements in LAUSD board races soon.
